Enhanced pairing in doped quantum magnets with frustrating hole motion
Abstract
Description
Evidence for strong pairing at arbitrary small J/t is provided in a t-J model on the checkerboard lattice for the sign of hopping leading to frustration in hole motion. Destructive quantum interferences suppress Nagaoka ferromagnetism when J->0 and reduce drastically coherent hole motion in the fluctuating singlet background. It is shown that, by pairing in various orbital symmetry channels, holes can benefit from a large gain of kinetic energy.
